“Officer-involved shooting leaves 1 dead” http://ift.tt/1MHbtND Normally, people who write newspaper headlines are notorious for removing any word thta they could possibly cut, often to the point of making what they write ambiguous or downright cryptic.* Not always, though. You ever notice how far a newspaper writer will go out of their way, just to avoid writing “Police killed a man” in so many words?

What do you feel is the best translation for βαρβαροι if you are translating a passage about a fight in Armenia taken from Xenophon? “Barbarbians” would be the traditional translation (and one that etymologically comes from the Greek), but in the last 2300+ years it has taken on a lot of anthropological and political baggage it didn’t necessarily have at the time (esp. for a writer like Xenophon, who sometimes admired and spent a lot of time with Asian “βαρβαροι”). Alternatives?

Yo Austin PS. This is a great movie, go see it.
